Meatbox reissue, huh?
- Thread starter skulletwhip

It's hard to tell how they have it set up in that place or the experience of the guys doing the sound. Not a huge venue but I would have thought the system would have some sub going on.
Will the sound or effects coming out of the subwoofer sound similar to a regular amp if the Meatbox is turned off?
So I got to use the meatbox at a gig last night. It was pretty cool. I felt it in the room pretty good. Not to the max. I was playing it safe till I figure out how I want to run it exactly.
But anyway. I think I'm gonna try and figure it out today. I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the TRS patch hookup to a DI out on my board to the FOH. So I'd be running the dry through my board and amp, and the effected to the FOH. Still not set on that. But until I can find a safe way to send it to my rig on full blast, I'm thinking this is the way I'm gonna go.
There's are what I'm working with right now. The TRS out the out on the meatbox, then the tip to the next pedal on Line and the sleeve to the mini DI. Is that right?
Question: how do I know which one of the two on the TRS patch is the sleeve and which one is the tip?

So I tried hooking up the TRS patch both ways. And I'm still getting an effected signal through both the patches outs to my rig. I'm confused.......
Maybe I got the wrong patch?

You got a splitter, not an insert cable. The splitter sends the stereo to both places. You want one where each output is different.

I was thinking of this one too but I like the idea of the female ends on the tip and sleeve.
So I ordered this. Thanks again Digiman. So which will go to the DI and which to the next pedal in line?
Eh, it would just add more pieces to the equation. Thanks for the suggestion though man. The EBS was the one I originally wanted to go with but decided against it for these very reasons.
@DigiTechRep Hi!! Any idea when Meatbox come to Brazil dealers? I'm trying to not buying stuff directly from outside dealers(some problems in the past). I'm reading all about that pedal and can't wait to blowup some speakers and drive everyone mad. I will record some HD youtube thing as well!!! DOD old stuff were very successful among brazilians
Meatbox has officially retired the Octamizer. It tracks a little better and sounds less synthy.
What I meant to ask but didn't do a good job of was this; If the Meatbox is not on will the sound of your normal bass signal be muddy because the type of speaker is a subwoofer as compared to a regular bass cabinet?
"It all starts with a cable" should be your signature quote. Humble, reasonable, and truthful.
